I am back again with a new card for the 30-day colouring challenge after a little break. The fast few days I didn't have the right mood for colouring, so I had nothing to post here. Normally I would post a christmascard, but I still need to make it, so you will see that one later this week. Today I am showing you a simple card made with the stamp Gorjuss - Little song from Santoro. I stamped the image on white cardstock and then I coloured her with my polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. Next to the image I stamped a birthday sentiment from the set Van alles wat from EveryDee stamps. I made little holes in the white cardstock and the I added stitched borders with white embroidery thread. . I have punched a couple of flowers and leaves from pink and green cardstock and added little white pearls in the centers of the flowers. I adhered the image panel on pink cardstock and then I adhered everything on a white card.

Today it is party time, because it is my parents 42nd anniversary. I made this card for them. I used an older Eline Pellinkhof stamp, Eline's owls from Marianne designs. I stamped and masked the images to create this little scene. I added a frame around the image with a black pen. The sentiment from the set Sophie's sentiments from Lawn fawn was stamped inside the frame. Then I coloured the image with my polychromos pencils. I coloured the eyes of the owl on the right with the black glaze pen and I added clear nuvo drops on both their beaks. I coloured around the image with a blue Derwent aquatone pencil and then I thought my card was finished. But after a good sleep last night I realised something was missing. So with a white gelpen I added a couple of details on the image and then the card was really done. ;)

For day 19 I made a simple one-layer card with the stamp Tiny Townie Rachel loves rain from Stamping Bella. I stamped the image and sentiment straight on the front of a white card. Then I coloured the image with my polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. On the umbrella I coloured dots with a white gelpen. Rachels skirt and the puddle she is standing in are coloured with Clear Spectrum noir sparkle pen. I coloured around the image with a blue derwent aquatone pencil.

Today I am showing you a simple birthdaycard with the stamp Birds Life-2 - Happy birthday from Torytale. I printed the image twice. On one of the images I coloured the sky blue with Tumbled glass distress ink. I have cut the image out with the Crea Nest-lies XXL no.44 from Crealies. On the other images I coloured all the banners and birds with my polychromos pencils and then I fussy cut everything and adhered everything on the first image. I coloured the balloon and the little banners with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle pen. I adhered the image on a white card.

Today I am posting a Tiddly inks card with one of the newest images Molly celebrates van Tiddly Inks. I really loved the colouring with my Derwent inktense pencils on yesterdays card, so I decided to use them again today.. I coloured Molly's eyes with the black glaze pen and I fussy cut the image. On a white card I adhered a strip of purple dotted paper from the Kraft in color - color paperpad from Doodlebug and then I added another layer of the white cardstock. I drew a frame on it with a black pen. I punched a couple of flowers with the Hydrangea punch from Martha Stewart from the purple dotted paper and adhered those in the corners of the card. In the centers of the flowers I added tiny white pearls. The sentiment from the set Just because from Create smile stamps is stamped with versamark ink on the purple paper and then I embossed it with white embossingpowder.

Today I have a very appropriate card for the 30-day colouring challenge with an image with painting mice. :) I was a winner at her challenge and was allowed to pick 2 images and this is one of them. I printed the image on the new Dutch waterart watercolor paper and that went really well, so I am finally able to use watercolour paints to colour my digital stamps!This is Monet mice from Di's digi stamps and I coloured the image with my Derwent inktense pencils and the black glaze pen. Then I cut the image out with the rectangle die from the Basic set - Creative cuts from Mama elephant. I adhered the image on black cardstock and then I adhered it on a white card. I stamped the sentiment hello from the set MSTN Things with wings from My favorite things on black cardstock and then I embossed it with white embossingpowder. I cut it into a bannershape and adhered it on the card.

After a short break a new challenge starts on the Fairytale challenge blog. The theme of our challenge is Christmas in july. Just like last Sunday I made a card with an image from Di's digi stamps. Today I used the image Christmas catch mice from Di's digi designs. I coloured the image with my polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I coloured the snow with a Clear Spectrum noir sparkle pen. I cut the image out with the Stitched mini scallop circle stax die-namic from My favorite things. On a white card I adhered a layer of red cardstock after I wrapped white ribbon around it. I stamped a sentiment from the Toboggan together from Lawn fawn with versamark ink on the red cardstock and then I embossed it with white embossingpowder. Then I decorated the card with a couple of white pearls.Number of christmascards 2016: 18Number of christmas gift wallets 2016: 2

Today I coloured on kraft cardstock for the 30-day colouring challenge. I love using lots of different mediums for this challenge, although I have to say that my pencils are my absolute favorite. ;)For this card I stamped the image Party Olivia from CC Designs on a kraft card. I stamped the sentiment from the set BB Beary special birthday from My favorite things next to the image. I coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. To let the image pop I decided to outline the image with a white gelpen. Then I decorated the card with the stars and sequins from the Lily white sequin mix from Lucy's little things.

Today I am posting my card a bit later, but I am happy to tell you that I coloured a bit today. I found a real old clear stamp from a stamp company that no longer exists. This is Lil monster valentine from Annebelle stamps (retired). I stamped the image on the new Dutch Waterart paper. This is pretty cheap watercolor paper. I coloured the image with the Zig clean color real brush markers and a black glaze pen and then I fussy cut the image. I coloured the bow and the flower with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle pen. I cut a sqaure from kraft paper with the Stitched wonky square stax die-namics from My favorite things and then I adhered the image on it. The striped paper is from a paperpad from the Dutch store Action. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Today I am showing you another card that I coloured with the Zig clean color real brush markers. This time I made a card with the stampset Beautiful girl from My favorite things. I stamped all the images on watercolor paper and then I coloured them with the Zig markers and a black glaze pen. I fussy cut all the images. On a piece of white cardstock I made 2 circles with the Pierced circle Elle-ments from Avery Elle. These dies don't cut the circles but they add little dots and it gives a lovely effect! Inside the circle I made a background with tumbled glass distress ink. I stamped the sentiment straight on the white cardstock and then I adhered all the images with foamtape. Then I adhered the white panel on a pink card.

Today I am showing you a project that I coloured with the Zig clean color real brush markers. Lately I have been having so much fun with my pencils, that I didn't use these markers that much. But today I finally used them again.

I made a little bookmark with one of the mini gorjuss stamps. This is Santoro gorjuss - No2 New heights from Do crafts. I stamped the image on watercolour paper and then I coloured it with the zig clean colors. I am pretty satisfied with the result, but I don;t like the colour of the face. I have fussy cut the image. The bookmark is made from pink cardstock and I added a layer of Small chevron paper from Pink petticoat after I wrapped white cord around it. I made 2 little white flowers with the Hydrangea punch from Martha Stewart. I coloured the centres with the black glaze pen. The bookmark closes with a little magnet.

This month I am again participating in the card swap from the facebook group Critter loving cardmakers. You get someones adress and you send them a card with a cute critter on it and you receive a critter card from someone else in the swap group.I made a card with the image Bee mine mice from Di's digi stamps. I coloured the image with my polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. Then I cut the image out with the Femme frames from Mama elephant and then I adhered it on black cardstock. On a white card I adhered pink dotted paper from the Dots & stripes valentines paperpad from Echo Park. I first wrapped white seam binding around the design paper. The sentiment is cut with a couple of the word dies from the A tag for all Elle-ments from Avery Elle. From white cardstock I cut a couple of flowers with the Pocket dies from Paper smooches. I punched a couple of leaves from green cardstock and I adhered them together on the card. In centres of the flowers I adhered a pink pearl.
